Dear Parents/Guardians,
Teaching children multiculturalism and pluralism has important social consequences and helps foster compassion and understanding of their fellow person. Although teaching the secular point of view has traditionally been neglected when teaching about society/faith traditions, such study can be very enriching and foster creative and critical thinking in students.

Kind Regards,

Christianity and Poverty
Jesus is famously recorded as saying that rich people should sell their possessions and give them to the poor, and that it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
